When to let go

Everything that is born in nature, dies. We are all a part of nature. Death comes for us all. And yet, when you see someone, a loved one die, it always comes as a shock, with sorrow.

Is it better to die in an instant or have some extra time with your loved ones?

It’s the people left behind, who live in sorrow, who deal with the loss. No matter what happens after death. It does not matter if death is the ultimate full stop, or if there’s rebirth. It does not. Whoever you were in life, stops being after you die.

So, again, is it better to die in an instant, without knowing you’re going to die? Or is it better to stay in pain, withering away, while your loved ones mourn your passing every single day?

Once we know, there is nothing to be done for a person, would it not be kinder to euthanise a person? While they are more of themselves? While they are not in the pain they would be in? Or shorten the pain they might feel in their last days on this planet?
